Built in 1999, Sullivan Hall is home to both the Seattle University Law School and the Law Library. This state-of-the-art academic and research facility provides services to over 1,050 law students and faculty, as well as 6,000 undergraduate and non-law graduate students and faculty. The library also serves as a research library for a large local alumni population and as an official GPO depository is a source of government documents for the public. During the tour you will see part of the Sullivan Hall Art Collection, featuring primarily Northwest artists on themes of human dignity, diversity, justice, communication and documentation.
The King County Law Library serves the legal information needs of the judges, government officials, legal professionals, and residents of King County from locations in downtown Seattle and at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. During the time of the AALL meeting, the downtown library will be operating from temporary space in the County's Administration building across the street from its regular Courthouse location while that building undergoes a seismic retrofit. Library staff will offer tours of both the library and its Legal Research and Training Center. The LRTC, funded in part with a grant from the Community Access to Technology program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, provides community access to legal research skills training and to Internet and Web-based legal resources in a public law library setting.
William H. Gates Hall
University of Washington School of Law
The new Gallagher Law Library in William H. Gates Hall is scheduled to open in September 2003. Come for a behind the scenes tour of one of the premier academic law libraries in the Northwest in its beautiful new location on the main campus of the University of Washington. Director Penny Hazelton will show you the new staff spaces, shelving areas, and student study areas. Although the building will not yet be fully occupied, she will highlight innovative features in Gates Hall, such as the student alcove, the remote learning lab, and legal research training center. With the library and the law school building still in transition, you will learn about the mechanics of moving a large collection. This is a must-see for anyone planning a library move.
This library is located under an arch of glass along an entire side of the building with views of the Space Needle, Elliott Bay, and the Cascade Mountains. Four librarians and three staff serve the 185 Seattle attorneys and provide some services to 220 attorneys in nine other locations throughout the country and in Shanghai. Major practice areas include media law, intellectual property, employment, litigation and banking. The library uses EOSi library software to manage the firmwide Web OPAC, serials check-in and routing, acquisitions, and circulation.
Perkins Coie's Seattle library is the largest private law library in the Pacific Northwest, with over 50,000 print volumes and extensive electronic resources. Founded in 1912, the firm counted among its earliest clients William E. Boeing and his fledgling aircraft company. Perkins Coie now has offices in 11 US cities, as well as Hong Kong and Beijing. A staff of 6 librarians and 3 library technicians in Seattle serves 600 lawyers firmwide, including 290 lawyers at the Seattle headquarters. The Seattle library consists of a main library plus seven satellite collections. Inmagic software is used as the platform for the catalog, serials, and acquisitions functions. You'll have a chance to see the library's Intranet tools and resources, as well their new portal technology.
This library, built in 1990, has a view of Mount Rainier, the Cascade mountain range and Lake Washington. It is part of a network of six libraries headquartered in San Francisco. Two librarians and two library assistants serve 100 Seattle attorneys and provide direct support to Heller's Anchorage and Portland offices. Practice areas include environment, energy, litigation, intellectual property, banking, securities litigation, real estate and insurance. Nearly 15,000 volumes are housed in the Seattle office's main library and four satellite collections. All of the Heller Ehrman libraries use SydneyPlus to manage their electronic catalog; a Web OPAC is the latest addition to the firm's technology resources.
This large law firm moved to its new location in January 2003. The library's new design combines static and mobile shelving to accommodate the 25,000+ volume collection. The PG&E library staff of seven serves 212 attorneys in Seattle. Support for other West Coast locations is also available from the Seattle library. A large print collection and a growing array of electronic resources support more than 20 practice groups. The Seattle library uses SydneyPlus for cataloging, serials management, and acquisitions. The Web OPAC provides desktop access to the library holdings of the firm's West Coast offices. Wireless attorney workspaces and efficient staff areas are some of the highlights of one of the newest private law libraries in the Puget Sound area.
